Warm possibilities

There is something about the sun that is irresistible to me. I can't help but feel giddy and excited every time the month of May rolls around. Warm weather brings out happiness in me. And brings back so many memories too.

Like sitting out on my high school lawn with all my friends as soon as the thermometer read anything past 10 Celsius. Playing with my gang of neighbourhood childhood friends outside until the streetlights went on. (come on, I can't be the only one whose parent gave them that rule). Walking around different parking lots of numerous cities sunburnt and exaughsted but so freaking happy after seeing Grateful Dead concert after Grateful Dead concert. Sitting for endless hours on patios with my drink of choice and friends I met while travelling around the world when I was in my early twenties. Cottage porches with family. My sister's wedding on a beach in Alberta, and yes there are beaches in Alberta... Trips to the Caribbean, and so many more memories.

With all the positive experiences I have had in warm weather it is no wonder that I welcome the warm weather and all the new and memories it can bring with it every year. I look forward to this year's possibilities....

6 unpacked boxes

I got inspired today as my cleaning lady was here and decided to start sorting through the last 6 unpacked boxes. Hey, it only took me a year...

As I was going through my things I started to realize how far I have come in my life and how happy I am right now at this very moment in time.

It is funny how a person can look back on their lives and see things so clearly....'hindsight is 20/20'.

Decisions that one has to make in their lives and hoping and praying that they will be the right ones, and sometimes they aren't and sometimes they are, but every choice and decision we make leads us to this time and place in our lives. And I can truly say that I am absolutely happy and confident with my life and who I am, so everything before has been an accumulation to bring me to where I am.

I was telling someone the other day that if only I could stay at this moment in time for as long as I want.....
Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing to be able to do? When one is truly happy to just put the pause button on for awhile and truly bask in the glow of it, in the warmth and comfort of it....
That is why we really have to - as human beings hold onto these moments and keep them in out minds and our hearts and always remember, cause that is what gets us through the hard parts in life....knowing that life can be absolutely fabulous.......
